OK, so GNU ELPA is now at 11.87. This package was built from a Git repository (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=emacs/elpa.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/externals/auctex) which is based on the AUCTeX Git (currently only updated up to 11.87), but with all the preview files moved one level up, and with the auto-generated files stored in the repository. The auto-generated files were not built with the provided configure+make rules, since those are broken there because of the file-moves. Instead I added a GNUmakefile which "does the job for now". For now, this is the best I can do on elpa's side to get closer to AUCTeX's Git tree. Any effort AUCTeX itself can do to get closer to elpa's tree will be appreciated (I don't expect nor encourage AUCTeX to include the auto-generated files, but mirroring my "mv preview/* ./" would be great to help future syncs). I'll try and setup some system that will send you a copy of any commit made to elpa's repository, so you can try and incorporate it into AUCTeX's code. Stefan
